Biography: Costas P. Grigoropoulos received his Diploma Degrees in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (1978), and in Mechanical Engineering (1980) from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. He holds a M.Sc. degree (1983), and a Ph.D. (1986), both in Mechanical Engineering from Columbia University. He joined the faculty of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley in 1990. He also holds an appointment with the Environmental Energy Technologies Division of LBNL. He has conducted research at the Xerox Mechanical Engineering Sciences Laboratory, the IBM Almaden Research Center, the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser, FORTH, Greece and ETH, Zurich.

Grigoropoulos’ current research interests are in micro/nano engineering, laser materials processing and micro/nano-machining, laser-based non-contact diagnostics for chemical analysis, change of phase transformations in semiconductors and electronic materials, laser-driven thin film crystal growth for applications in micro/nanoelectronic devices, laser-induced nanodeposition, microscale fuel cells, fabrication of flexible electronics and solar cells, catalytic micro-reactors, hydrogen storage, thermal management in micro-devices, transport diagnostics in MEMS, nanofluidic transport and laser interactions with biological materials.
